The DSTREAM-HT system
2. The DSTREAM-HT system
DSTREAM-HT is a debug and trace hardware system that enables software debug and trace for the
optimization of software running on Arm® processor-based targets.
DSTREAM-HT provides an interface between a host such as Arm Development Studio and an
Arm processor-based target using a hardware interface such as JTAG or Serial Wire Debug (SWD).
DSTREAM-HT also enables the collection of up to six lanes of HSSTP trace for powerful code
optimization.
The DSTREAM-HT debug system is made up of a standard Arm DSTREAM-ST unit, along with an
additional Arm HSSTP probe, enabling:
•Debug on Arm processors from Armv4 to Armv8.
•USB 3.0 and remote Gigabit Ethernet host connections.
•Code download speeds of up to 12MB per second.
•JTAG clock of up to 180MHz.
•Serial Wire Debug of up to 125MHz (standard single-ended signaling).
•A wide range of target connectors.
•Up to six lane HSSTP trace support (up to 60Gbps maximum trace bandwidth).
•Up to two lanes of SETM trace.
•Flexible HSSTP lane rates of up to 12.5Gbps.
•Up to 4-bit parallel trace support (up to 2.4Gbps maximum trace bandwidth).
•Flexible DDR trace clock timing of up to 300MHz (600Mbits/s, per pin).
•8GB of trace memory storage on the HSSTP probe.
•Support for up to 1022 CoreSight™ devices.
•Remote target reset.
•Device bring-up and test utilities.
•Flexible architecture to support third party IP and debuggers.
For more feature information, see the DSTREAM-HT web page on the Arm Developer website.
For the purposes of this content:
•The term DSTREAM-ST refers only to the DSTREAM-ST unit.
•The terms DSTREAM-HT or DSTREAM-HT system refer to both the DSTREAM-ST unit and
HSSTP probe working in combination.
This chapter describes the DSTREAM-HT hardware.

2.3 The DSTREAM-ST unit
The DSTREAM-ST unit provides the hardware interface to connect the host computer to your
target.
Rear
The rear of the DSTREAM-ST unit contains ports for connecting to the network, host PC, and the
power source. It also contains the RESET button and the USER IO port.
Figure 2-11: Rear of the DSTREAM-ST unit
USB 3.0 portEthernet port User IO port Reset button Power input
Ethernet port
If you want to access your DSTREAM-ST unit over a local area network, use the Ethernet
port.
The green LED indicates that the Ethernet link is up and running. The yellow LED indicates
that activity is taking place. Supported data rates are: 10/100/1000 Mbps.
DSTREAM-ST is a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) device. To achieve the maximum GbE data transfer
rate:
•Your PC must support the GbE standard.
•Your network infrastructure must support the GbE standard.
•You must use the included GbE cable.
USB 3.0 port
To connect the DSTREAM-ST unit directly to your host PC, use the USB 3.0 port.
DSTREAM-ST is a USB 3.0 device. To achieve the maximum USB 3.0 data transfer rate:
•Your PC must have a USB 3.0 port.

Version 1.0
The DSTREAM-HT system
•You must use the included USB 3.0 data cable.
Longer or lower-quality cables might not operate at USB 3.0 data transfer rates because of
higher signal loss. In this event, DSTREAM-ST reverts to USB 2.0 mode.
USER IO port
Use the USER IO port to set up custom input or output connections to your target. See the
Arm DSTREAM-HT System and Interface Design Reference Guide for more details.
RESET Button
Always use the RESET button to power-cycle your DSTREAM-ST unit.
Disconnecting and re-connecting the DC plug to power-cycle your target
might cause ground-loop issues.
To reset the DSTREAM-ST unit, press and release the RESET button. The RESET button
operates immediately and performs a full internal power-cycle. This also resets any attached
probes.
If you continue to hold the RESET button for 10 seconds more, the STATUS
LED flashes red rapidly. When you release the RESET button after this point,
DSTREAM-ST reboots and defaults back to factory installed firmware. Use
the Debug Hardware Firmware Installer view in Arm® Development Studio to
update the firmware of your DSTREAM-ST unit.
Power input
Connect the power adapter provided with the DSTREAM-ST unit to this port.
When using DSTREAM-ST with the HSSTP probe, you must use the dual
power cable provided with the power supply unit.
Front
The front of the DSTREAM-ST unit contains ports for connecting to your target.

CORESIGHT 20
A high-density connector that supports 10-way or 20-way CoreSight™ standards in addition
to a subset of the MIPI debug connection standards. It provides support for Serial Wire and
JTAG interface modes in a 20-pin (0.05") connector.
To achieve the highest possible trace data rate, Arm recommends using the
short, 15cm ribbon cable.
ARM JTAG 20
JTAG 20 provides support for Serial Wire and JTAG interface modes in a 20-pin (0.1")
connector.
AUX
This port is included to connect DSTREAM-ST with external probe units such as the HSSTP
probe.
Other connectors
Included with DSTREAM-ST are:
•Texas Instruments 14-way adapter - Used in conjunction with the Arm JTAG 20 cable,
provides debug access to any target with a TI JTAG 14 header.
•MICTOR adapter - Used in conjunction with the Arm JTAG 20 and CoreSight 20 cables,
this adapter provides debug and trace access to any target with a MICTOR socket.
To achieve full MICTOR connectivity, you must use both the Arm JTAG 20
and CoreSight 20 cables.
Optional adapters
The following adapters are also available for use with DSTREAM-ST. Each of these allows
DSTREAM-ST to capture up to 4-bit wide ETM trace, and also allows the use of separate
debug and trace power domains.

The DSTREAM-HT system
•MIPI-34 adapter - This adapter connects directly to the front panel of DSTREAM-ST. The
adaptor is supplied with a MIPI-34 ribbon cable to provide debug and trace access to any
target with a MIPI-34 header.
•MIPI-60 adapter - This adapter plugs into a target's MIPI-60 socket and converts it to a
MICTOR socket for use with the DSTREAM-ST MICTOR adapter.
To obtain optional adapters, contact Arm support with your requirements.
Indicator LEDs on the top
When you power up the DSTREAM-ST unit, the LEDs on top of the unit indicate the status of the
unit.
Figure 2-13: Indicator LEDs
DSTREAM logo
The DSTREAM logo on the top of the unit illuminates and the STATUS LED begins to flash
when you power up the DSTREAM-ST unit. The DSTREAM logo also flashes when you
click the Identify button in the Debug Hardware Configure IP view or the Debug Hardware
Firmware Installer view in Arm Development Studio.
STATUS
Illuminates green to show that DSTREAM-ST is in its ready state.

Version 1.0
The DSTREAM-HT system
If a critical error is detected, the STATUS LED illuminates as continuous red. If the STATUS
LED is red, then you must reset the DSTREAM-ST unit to the factory settings before you can
continue using it. If the DSTREAM-ST unit fails to boot after a reset, contact Arm support.
For more information, see Restore a DSTREAM-HT system.
FLASH
Illuminates when the unit is accessing its internal flash storage.
TARGET
Illuminates when a valid target VTREF is detected.
DEBUG
Illuminates when debug data transfer takes place.
TRACING
Indicates that DSTREAM-ST is attempting to capture data and synchronize with the trace
stream.
TRIGGER
Indicates that a trigger is present in the trace data.
DATA
Indicates that trace synchronization is complete and DSTREAM-ST is capturing trace data.
Trace synchronization is when the DSTREAM-ST unit detects a full synchronization packet
and aligns with the trace data stream.
OVERFLOW
Indicates an overflow-condition during trace capture. An overflow condition occurs if it has
not been possible to stream trace data to the host PC at a high enough rate. For example,
if the USB port is only operating in USB 2.0 mode, if the Ethernet port is only operating
at 100Mbps, or if other applications on the host PC are using too much USB or Ethernet
bandwidth.
In general, when streaming trace data, the best practice is to keep usage of other
applications, on the host PC, to a minimum.
TRC CLK
This LED is for parallel trace only.
If the TRC CLK LED is green, it indicates that a valid trace clock is detected. This is the
normal condition when capturing trace data from a target.
If the TRC CLK LED is off, then no parallel trace clock signal is detected.
If the TRC CLK LED is red and flashing, it indicates that the received trace clock frequency is
too high or too low to be captured.
